Your posts are generally offensive, and are certainly of no consequence in this particular discussion. I'm not (before you decide to flame me) a user of HLA, nor will I *ever* be a user of RosASM (whether it works or not), as I have seen all I wish to of your flaming, and will not subsidize it. If you've nothing of substance to contribute to the ongoing debate on what constitutes a "real" implementation of an X86 assembly language tool, I'm sure I am not alone in hoping you will merely observe.

And it would be a much more responsible approach to the issue than running off into left field and inventing an "improved" syntax. Bill

And again.
